Housework helps combat anxiety and depression - stress relief

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

New Scientist reports that housework staves off anxiety and depression. Just 20 minutes a week is highly effective, reducing the risk of depression by 20%. Sports reduces it by a third, according to the study.

Now, I don’t know about y’all, but 20 minutes of housework wouldn’t even come close to the time needed to pick up after myself. When I was super extra morbidly obese, 500 pounds, I required some living assistance and had a housekeeper. However, I can do things for myself nowadays. I’m a bachelor, so keep that in mind.
